Chapter Text
You opened the door and stared down the hallway in despair.
Stupid rich families, you thought to yourself as you made your way (hopefully) towards the bathroom.
You had been invited to stay the weekend with Honey and Mori at the Morinozuka summer home. Or, to be more accurate, Honey had invited you. Mori had remained silent through the interaction, which was no surprise.
Even though you were dating Mori, you were more than a little surprised by the invitation. You hesitated to accept, knowing that the small blond could just be inviting you without discussing it with Mori first because he was that friendly and welcoming. You wouldn't put it past him, to be honest.
But Honey had insisted that the invite was his cousin's idea to begin with, which made you all the more curious. Mori didn't share feelings often, but...he obviously thought highly enough of you to talk about you with his cousin. It made you feel special.
Which was how you ended up wandering around the Morinozuka summer home in the middle of the night.
You eventually found the bathroom and sighed in relief.
Without the rest of the family or the servants getting there until the morning, poor Honey had been tasked to give you a tour of the house. Mori took it upon himself to take all of your suitcases to your respective rooms (which he'd insisted upon even though you told him he didn't have to).
The blond had only showed you the main room, the bathroom, and the kitchen. And then he got distracted by a cake. Not that you blamed him. You just wished you'd paid more attention when it was actually light outside.
When you exited the bathroom, you realized you couldn't remember which side of the hallway you'd come from. You were now hopelessly lost in this large house. Both boys were asleep, and it was deathly silent.
You growled in frustration and just went left. Couldn't hurt, right?
After opening about five doors and finding nothing but empty rooms and a makeshift dojo for the boys, you were about to give up.
The next room you opened had a sleeping form, but a shock of blond hair was peeking out over the covers. You froze instantly, careful not to make any noise.
You'd heard rumors about how ruthless Honey was to anyone that woke him up when he was sleeping.
Luckily, the boy didn't seem disturbed by your intrusion. He continued his even breathing, and you quickly shut the door again.
But...if that was Honey's room....did that mean...?
You glanced at the door right next to his and slowly opened it. You smiled.
Of course those two had rooms side by side.
“That's adorable,” you said softly as you went to shut the door again and continue your search. But a voice stopped you.
“(Y/N)?” Mori mumbled sleepily.
“Sorry! Don't mind me,” you said. “I got lost, I was just--”
Mori slowly sat up and blinked at you. “Stay. Lie with me.”
“Mori?” you asked. You'd never seen him like this before. So...bold.
He extended a hand to you. “Come here,” he insisted.
You opened your mouth to protest, to say that it was not appropriate and that his family would be there in the morning and might catch you but before you could say any of that, you realized you'd made it all the way over to his bed without meaning to.
Damn his voice. His already mesmerizing voice laced with sleep was even more hypnotic than before. It had called you over here like a siren song.
Mori smiled slightly, as though he could read your thoughts. He pulled you onto the bed and curled up next to you.
It was only when you were pressed up against his hard chest that you realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. You immediately flushed and tried to make some distance between you.
He held you fast, kissing the top of your head. “You're cute,” he mumbled. “And warm.”
“M-Mori!” you squeaked, face becoming redder by the second. This was definitely a different side of your boyfriend. It must run in their family somehow. Honey was angry when people woke him up. While Mori was....far more friendly and open.
You slowly relaxed against him. After all, he wasn't letting you go anytime soon. Might as well enjoy it. You didn't know when you'd get this chance again.
The two of you laid there for some time before you finally felt your eyelids drooping.
“Good night, Mori,” you said softly.
He smiled down at you, staring at you with those dark onyx eyes of his. “Good night (Y/N).....I love you.”
“Love you...” you mumbled sleepily, trying to process what he had said. You had a feeling it was important. But your eyes were too heavy and his bed was so comfortable.
You woke with a start the next morning, aware that you were somewhere unfamiliar. You stared at Mori's chest for a few seconds before putting the pieces all back into place from last night.
Your face started to heat up. Had Mori said.....?
His arm tightened around you as he shifted positions. His eyes fluttered open to see you lying there next to him. He frowned slightly at your red face. Was something wrong?
“(Y/N)?” he mumbled. “What--?”
“Iloveyoutoo!” you blurted out.
His eyes widened at your confession, but he smiled.
He slowly intertwined his fingers with your own and brought your hand to his lips. “I know.”
You would later find out from Honey that Mori had invited you up with the sole intent of telling you those three words. Even if he had meant to tell you when he was fully awake, you couldn't say your boyfriend wasn't romantic at heart.
